You are having an excess sebum production, Do you also develop some redness and mild itching around the nose, behind the ears. You may have Seborrheic dermatitis which can be caused by a fungus. You need to apply a facewash with Salicylic acid like Clearasil ultra every 6-8 hours to keep dry and clean. If you have dandruff you may use a Shampoo with Ketoconazole like Nizoral.
